THE WEDDING NIGHT...

Truth be told...entering into a beautiful relationship which leads to marriage is the dream of every single individual.

It's pretty exciting, especially on the wedding day, when you finally get the chance to explore all.....and I mean ALL of the crazy things that for the sake of obedience to God's command against fornication, you've said NO to.

Total bliss isn't it?....

Before long, the honeymoon becomes another topic to be discussed; the romantically exotic sights are mentioned, locations are considered, hotels are booked and the body is psyched up for a jolly good time!

Well......that is the plan...

Anyway...

This is my take on the wedding night...

The wedding night and the marriage bed is a very spiritual activity and not so physical as it is thought to be.

This is the night where the real BLOOD COVENANT that we always talk about actually takes place.

This is the night where the blood of two different people, now joined as one, actually seal the covenant (which they made to God on His altar) and are SPIRITUALLY TIED together by their SOULS.

....pretty serious don't you think?

This is why the Word of God admonishes us to see our bodies as the temple of the Almighty and not defile it in any way, nor to commit fornication or even adultery.......(this is just by the way....back to what I'm driving at).

Now, taking into account the level of seriousness attached to the joining of soul and body of a man and a woman, do you, in your honest opinion, think that this form of 'SACRIFICE' or 'RITE' should be done just anywhere?

.....not at all....

It is good to treat yourselves with the choicest and most luxurious hotels in the world.......to show your spouse that he/she deserves it....but the best place for this should be your matrimonial home and on your matrimonial bed...not your sofa, living room floor or even the pool table.

This will serve as a symbol of sanctity: it will be a constant reminder of where your oneness truly began and you will most especially keep the marriage bed from being defiled.

In any case, would you like to use a bed which has been used by many married couples, adulterers and sadly, commercial sex workers for something as important as your first night together?...

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher. It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on. Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me. And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth. After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times. I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

Day eleven: The Authentic Hgh

This morning, I was pondering over a video Tabitha Brown posted on instagram a few days ago ( link here ). In her video, she was talking about how people were always sending her Dms to tone down on how much she speaks of Jesus in all her work. She said a lot of meaningful things which you will find in the link I have attached. My Quiet Time last week Friday was sourced from Timothy 4:8 which reads " For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. " It was a super "Aha" moment for me because I found a scripture from the Bible which assures me that I will profit a great deal from my resolve, to live for God, both in the now life and in the life which is to come. How cool is that?! Now that the premise for today's post has been laid, let me tell you what the authentic high is all about. This is going to get personal... it is the only way I can properly relay the mes...

Day One: One Good Turn Deserves Another

It feels so good to come back to writing, especially for this series! The 40-day reflections have been the most intensive seasons of my writing life. It is beautiful to observe how in the beginning, the writings seem rusty and then as they days go by, they begin to flow freely. After such a long break, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes the experience but hey, miracles happen every day! Praise the Lord! Today, I am sharing on kindness: There is this saying, “ One Good Turn Deserves Another ”, which in simple terms means: if someone does you a favour, you should take the chance to repay it . If you live by this proverb, you may do good to others with the expectation that when it is your turn to be shown such kindness, it is reciprocated in an equal or greater measure. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good posture for us as believers. I’m reminded of the piece of Scripture in which Jesus asks us to particularly do good to those we know will be...
